Converse theorem

In the matheamtical theory of automorphic forms, a converse theorem gives sufficient conditions for a Dirichlet series to come from an automorphic form.

Weil's converse theorem

The first higher dimensional converse theorem was proved by Hecke for level 1. Weil (1967) found an extension to forms of higher level, which was described by Ogg (1969, chapter V).
